River Feale – A Few Questions
-
Hi
Below is a photo of the river feale in Listowel, Co Kerry.
I used a grad filter to try and hold onto the sky. I think succeeded for the most part except just over the centre of the bridge where it’s slightly blown although it doesn’t look as blown in the colour version. I did however loose all the detail in the tree because of this and the top of the tree is now basically a silhoutte. How can I avoid this in the future or is PS the only way to avoid it? I did use a really cheap screw on grad. I’m waiting delivery of a cokin system so I can’t wait to get out with that and see how I get on.
There weren’t any real autumnal colours in the photo so thats why I decided to convert it to BW/Sepia as it was a little dull. Does this conversion work?
I’m trying to get to the stage where I can tell if my own photos are actually any good. It’s a little more difficult than I thought as I look at my own through tinted glasses but when I looki back at some of them a few weeks later I wonder what was I thinking holding onto some of them :)
I like this one but is it actually worth liking or is the delete button the only option for it? I’m trying to be more ruthless and dumping stuff thats borderline rubbish immediately rather than coming back to it again next month and realising then!
Not sure Y no one has commented on this yet, i quite like the duotone effect, composition is good. Lovely place to visit was there for a few weeks last year
The best advise i would say is to take multiple shots- No 1 – Exposed for the sky and No 2 – exposed for the forground then simply blend then in PS
Can you blend 3 images, say one for the sky, one for the tree and one for the foreground grass as they were all at different exposure levels. I’ve never blended more than two before!
I presume you would lose a lot of the sharpness though if you are blending images? Also, whats the difference between HDR and blending images? Or are they the same thing?
To be honest i am not sure on the difference i am sure someone will be along soon to tell you, but yes you can blend 3 images alhough masking the tree may be hard
